Farewell from Davao, other members of Canada's Rotary Dream Team had to leave earlier.with PAG Rosauro Borromeo and Rotary Club of Mactan PE Mona.

Farewell from Manila

Farewell... and thank you so much for caring and sharing to make dreams come true. You made a difference to many, you touched hearts and you changed lifes.

At this point it is probably adequate to specially mention some other supporting (or actually leading) actors:- Lady Cora. All Dream Team Members had so much goodwill and friendship to offer. Lady Cora Van Laar relentlessly worked and lobbyied to direct their attention towards the Philippines.- Rotary Club of Mactan President Maita Manglapus who did all she could and more to make this visit successful and memorable- PAG Rosauro Borromeo, whose hospitality in Davao knew no limits

Joyce Nicdao (right), former resident of Bahay Mapagmahal got a brand new and heavy duty wheelchair. Joyce has a hard time using public transportation. Her will is her way. Everyday she wheels herself from her dorm to the skill training center, rain or shine. Thank you so much to Bob, to Maita. You might never know what great difference you make when touching peoples life.

Mariecell describes herself as smart, sexy and simply amazing. Here she tells the story of her life , how she became totally blind, her life now and her dreams.Here is a previous articleThis is her own website
